Tony Parsons begone from this board!

[midnightexpress]

How dare they advertise Tony Parsons on the Adult Fiction board topics?

I HATE his plodding old crap.

All that shoite about the sisters and their experiences of having or not having children. It's RUBBISH.

Go away.

Thank you.

don't like him either here..but I do like John O'Farrell.

he's also appeared at the top of the screen as well as the side now (or was it always in both)
I think they're winding us up now....

He's coming on for an online chat. (I'm not kidding )

Oh dear. Poor man.

No he isn't Justine! He may have been but not now!

I fear some "unforseen circumstances" coming on like Schezza's .
No Tony'll be fine - he's been married to J Burchill for goodness sake.

Never heard of him

As if marriage to Burchill is any preparation for the legendary nest of vipers.

Does UnquietDad know he's coming? Maybe he could do an instant spoof of his answers on another thread.

Feck. Just realised it's Jon Ronson he takes the piss out of

When he comes for the online chat, we should greet him with silence. We should ignore him completely and see if that removes a layer of smugness.

Tumbleweed....

He's a smug git and his books are shite and I believe every piece of posion good old Burchill has ever spouted about him! .

Seriously, I can't stand the tosser.

Give us plenty of notice, so we can marshal our arguments about the facile and derivative nature of his books in good time eh Justine

p.s.

charitas, that is the the most accurate description of Parsons I have ever had the pleasure of reading.

Full marks to you.

vile smug whining man. he thorougly deserved the burchil and you can't say that about many men.

Marina - hello ! have just finished the Jonathan Coe (The Rain before it falls...) really liked it
and yes, charitas' description is perfect !

Lol Pigleto: I agree; he and JB totally deserved each other. And Moondog: god yes; can you imagine what it would sound like when they had a row, or even worse (shudder) exchanged sweet nothings? Ugh!

Hmm, Tony Parsons live mnchat? I foresee an even more hilarious 'question' thread than SG's. Bring it on

Parsons now writes an article for GQ each month extoling the virtues of "real man" stuff like boxing and "hitting people on the street whilst acting manly".

What a gloriously rounded creature he is, on the one hand being able to get in touch with his feminine side so easily..on the other posturing and preening in GQ about "real man" issues

I wish he really did bleed for a week a month, every month

I thought his first novel was really boring, I haven't picked up any of the others.

So we'll take that as a thumbs up all round then?

I saw him a while back having a meal in a tiny noodle bar in camden. boy did he look miserable

Not for nothing did Viz dub him Tony Parsehole.

You know that his wife/girlriend is going to come on soon and get all uppity about us dissing her man don't you
Remember Mrs Ronson?

No, I missed that Troutpout, what happened? Got a link - sounds v. funny!

Think it's in mn classics..will go and have a look for you
